Jeff Sierpien is working with the City of Escanaba Recreation Department to organize and host the first annual Bay Area Veteran’s Fishing Derby on June 11, 2022. The purpose of the event is to give some Upper Peninsula military veterans a fun filled day of fishing followed by a luncheon and raffles in Ludington Park.
Sierpien is also working with various local fishing and sporting organizations to find fishermen willing to take out a veteran or two on their boats. The Delta County Veteran Service Officer, David Dziewior is also assisting in the event. Following a morning of fishing, the veterans will receive a meal and be part of raffles. There is no cost to the veterans.
Sierpien is the main point of contact for this event. If anyone is interested in providing a space on their boat to fish Lake Michigan or local inland waters, donate prizes/food or would like to assist in other ways, please email BayVetFishing@yahoo.com for more information.
